“Lindsey was a valued member of the LCSD family and an integral part of our team,” Sheriff Jay Koon said. “We’ve extended our heartfelt condolences to her family and we’re actively helping them through this very difficult time.”

The department says Lee worked in the information technology department at the agency.

Deputies found Lee’s body inside her home in the 200 block of Haleywood Lane right before 9 a.m. Tuesday after receiving a request for a welfare check.
